TOBACCO PACKAGE Filed March 24, 1950 FIG. 3
A TTORNEV Patented Jan. 6, 1953 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE TOBACCO PACKAGE Irving Korenman, Forest Hills, N. Y. Application March 24, 1950,.Serial No. 151,559
4 Claims.
This invention relate to a smokers tobacco pouch or package.
An object of this invention is a tobacco pouch or package which may be carried in the smokers pocket and which provides, in addition to the tobacco, a supply of smokers accessories, such as pipe cleaners, so arranged as to impart a pleasing appearance to the pouch or package.
Other objects will be apparent from the description below.
In the accompanying drawing,
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a holder for pipe cleaners which forms a part of the tobacco pouch or package of the present invention, I i
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a holder similar to that of Fig. 1 but of alternative construction,
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of an unfolded tobacco pouch of the present invention, and
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a pouch, such as the pouch of Fig. 3, when folded.
The holder l shown in Fig. 1 is illustrative of one type of accessory holder which may be used in the tobacco pouch of the present invention. It is formed of a substance, such as an extruded plastic, so shaped as to have a fiat face on one side and to define a plurality of parallel sleeves 2. These sleeves may each be of such size and shape as to hold a pipe stem cleaner 3. Other sleeves of other sizes, not shown, may also be included to hold other accessories such as pipe filter cartridges and the like. As will be explained more fully below, the flat face of the holder should be transparent so that the pipe cleaners in the holder can be seen through it. When the holder is made of a single extruded plastic unit as in Fig. 1 the plastic should therefore be essentially transparent.
When reference is made to pipe cleaners in this specification and in the claims, it is to be understood that what is meant are the elongated sections of twisted wire having a fabric pile completely covering them which are commonly sold and used for insertion in pipe stems for the removal of tar and other deposits therefrom.
Analternative construction of holder is shown.
in Fig. 2. In this figure, the holder 4 is formed primarily of two sheets 5 and 6. The sheet 5 is formed of any suitable transparent material. The sheet 6 is fastened to the sheet 5 in such manner as to form a plurality of parallel sleeves I adapted to contain pipe cleaners. These sleeves are closed at one end and open at the other end so as to permit insertion of the pipe cleaners. The sheet 6 may be formed of either transparent or opaque material. The fastening of the two sheets may be accomplished by stitching, by the use of adhesives, by heat sealing if the sheets are'formed of plastic, or by any other suitable means.
The holder 4 may also carry additional accessories besides the pipe cleaners. Thus in one of the lower sleeves 1 may be inserted a pipe cleaning implement 8 formed of a rigid fiat blade of such shape as to be easily inserted in the flat opening of the ordinary pipe mouthpiece and having a suitable handle. A sleeve 9, which is open at both ends and is of suitable size to hold the ordinary porous cylindrical pipe filter cartridge, may'also be'provided. A plurality of such cartridges l0 may be carried in the sleeve 9.
In place of being formed entirely of transparent material, the sheet 5 may be of opaque sheet material having a window therein so that only a portion of the array of pipe cleaners can be seen, as Will be described more fully below.
A tobacco pouch illustrative of those of the present invention is shown in Fig. 3 in an unfolded position. The pouch II is formed of a body I2 of flexible sheet material, which may for example be a plastic sheet, a paper sheet, a leather sheet or a fabric sheet. A pocket I 3 is formed at one end of the sheet as by turning up a flap M of the sheet and fastening it at the edges.
At the opposite end of the sheet and on the same face as the pocket is fastened a holder l5 resembling those shown in Figs. 1 and 2. Thus the holder of Fig. 1 or Fig. 2 may have its flat face fastened to the sheet l2 by stitching, by the use of an adhesive, by heat sealing or by any other suitable method. Alternatively a holder similar to that of Fig. 2 can be formed directly using the sheet l2 of the pouch in place of the sheet 5 of Fig. 2. Thus a, sheet I6 may be fastened directly to the sheet I2 in such manner as to form the required parallel sleeves. Again this fastening can be accomplished by adhesives, by stitching or by heat sealing.
An important feature of the invention is the arrangement of the accessories within the pouch soas to have these accessories themselves form a dominant 'part of the decorative scheme of the pouch when it is in its folded position. To accomplish this purpose it is necessary that the accessories, which are designed to be contained on the inside of the pouch when it is in its foldedposition, be visible from the exterior of the pouch.'
As indicated above, the holders 1 and 4 are def-i signed so that their flat face are formed,a't least in part, of transparent material. When such holders are used, or even when the holder is formed integrally with the sheet of which the pouch is formed, as described above, it is necessary that some means be provided for the accessories in the holder to be visible through the sheet 2.
One means of accomplishing this is to form the sheet l2 of a transparent material. Another structure which can be employed is that shown in Fig. 4. In this figure, a pouch of the type shown in Fig. 3 is shown. in its normal folded position. The pouch shown in this figure is one in which the sheet H! of Fig. 3 is formed of an essentially opaque material. In order that the accessories may contribute to the decorative scheme of the pouch, a window I! is provided such position as to provide an attractive view of at least a portion of the accessory array in the holder.
This window is formed of transparent sheet material and may be fastened to the sheet l2 in any suitable manner. When holders of the types shown in Figs. 1 and 2 are used, the transparent flat face of the holder itself may, if desired, be used as the transparent sheet materialof which the window is formed. Asindicated above, if desired, the flat face of the holderv need be transparent only to the extent necessary to coincide with the window. Obviously, if desired, the transparent sheetv may be omitted from the window and it can be left completely open.
Whether the pouch is completely transparent r co tain a t n ent indo he e appea o the o ch is d pende upon the artial 91' co p ete visib it of t e acce so e an he e accessories form the dominant feature of the decorative scheme of the folded pouch. Pipe cleaners are available in a variety of decorative colors and the parallel array of cleaners can be chosen with any combination of colors whichwill beattractive. The use of such a multi-colored array to provide useful accessories as well as a unique decorative scheme contributes greatly to the salability and enjoyment of the tobacco pouch, and it is an outstanding advantage of the pouch of the present invention that it lends itself to such an adaptation.
The invention has beendescribed above in terms of an essentially permanent type pouch to be carried and refilled by the smoker. The invention is also obviously adaptable to expendable tobacco packages in which tobacco, or a combinati n of tobacco and accessories, such as pipe cleaners, is sold. In expendable packages, the opaqueportions will most conveniently be formed f pa or pa a oi m ina ion an the transparent portions will most conveniently beformedof cellophane or the like.
The n n o has een escribed above n terms of its specific embodimentsand, since eer e. an; m a onsand e ui alen may bea p ent to those skilled the art, the description above is intended to be illustrative of, butnot n ces a il t o titu esimitation u on h sco of..th nvent n- Wha is c aimed s;
